solarman-mqtt

Poll Solarman APIs and display data in HomeKit via MQTT broker

Features

  • Display battery power as a light sensor
  • Display "Inverter Supply" as a contact sensor (useful for checking if supply is from Inverter or Grid)
  • Display battery SOC as a meta property on the contact sensor
  • Display low battery alert below a configured threshold
  • Display if battery is charging

Disclaimer

  • This has only been tested on a Sunsynk inverter with a Solarman WiFi data logger.
  • The docker images only targets the linx/arm/v7 architecture (raspberry pi 3b)

Prerequisites

Limitations

  • The Solarman WiFi loggers only send data every 15 minutes or so (the POLL_INTERVAL should be set accordingly)
  • Power values (usually watts) are modelled as a light sensor in HomeKit (in Lux). HomeKit does not support any sensor capable of displaying watts.

Setup

See the example docker-compose.yml for details.
